More treason over bullshit and fucking with national defense again for cynical political purposes. This guy should be in prison over J6, not blocking promotions.

“I want to be clear on this: My hold has nothing to do with the Supreme Court’s decision to the access of abortion,” Tuberville said. “This is about not forcing the taxpayers of this country to fund abortions.”

...Right...How about asking the taxpayers of this country if they're ok with it before you make these kinds of decisions for them?

NEW YORK — A Donald Trump supporter protesting the Manhattan district attorney’s probe of the former president pulled a knife on a family with two small children Tuesday outside Manhattan Criminal Court, according to a court official.

The man and woman with two children in strollers accidentally bumped into the Trump supporter while crossing the intersection of Hogan Place and Centre Street just after 4:00 p.m., three bystanders told POLITICO. The female protester, who held a sign that read “I support Trump, do you?” began arguing with the couple before she pulled out a blade approximately 6 inches long and waved it at the family, according to the eye-witnesses.

"Angelica Rucker pulled a knife from her right side belt hip area and began menacing one of the complainants with the knife as the verbal confrontation pursued," a court spokesperson said.

Court officers, who were standing outside the building, rushed over, pulled out their guns and ordered the woman to drop the knife, the bystanders said. She was arrested without incident.

No one was injured. Rucker, who could not immediately be reached for comment, was placed in custody and charges are pending, according to a court spokesperson.

“The court officers were standing on the corner and within 20 seconds they were here and she had dropped the knife,” said one bystander who could not be named because of his job. “The woman yelled, ‘Knife, knife’ and the court officers were on the Trump-supporter like Voltron,” the bystander said. :bigjoint:

The Trump-supporter was the only protester present outside the courthouse Tuesday.

LOL.

That’s where journalists come in.

“So, if democracy dies in darkness, we're counting on you and those that are being honored tonight who have have shown us the way, to help shed the light of truth on our public electorate.”

Republicans, Democrats split at hearing over Starbucks
Democrats went after former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz during a Wednesday hearing on union-busting, while Republicans largely defended the executive.
Republicans have long attacked Starbucks’ liberal stance on certain social issues, but they used much of their time on Wednesday to defend the coffee chain from Democratic attacks.

The fiery Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing showcases just how partisan the issue of labor unions has become in Congress, with GOP members acknowledging their support for Schultz, a former Democratic presidential candidate.

“I recognize at the outset there’s some irony to a non-coffee-drinking Mormon conservative defending a Democrat candidate for president in perhaps one of the most liberal companies in America,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the committee’s chairman, grilled Schultz over his role in the firing of pro-union baristas and the closing of stores that voted to unionize.

More than 280 Starbucks stores have voted to unionize, but the company’s efforts to oppose unionization have sparked more than 80 complaints from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Judges have ruled that Starbucks violated labor laws at least 130 times.

But Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), the committee’s ranking member, called the hearing a “smear campaign against a company and an individual.”

He attacked the credibility of the NLRB, which is being led by a former union official, suggesting that Congress should investigate whether the board is unlawfully helping organizers win unions elections.

An August 2022 Gallup poll found that 71 percent of Americans support labor unions, the highest figure since 1965.

“It’s kind of disappointing and sad and wild to me at how partisan this debate has become,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said during the hearing. “Previous Republican candidates, they really fought hard to win the union vote, to speak at union conventions.”

While most Republicans on the committee downplayed the charges levied against Starbucks, a few GOP senators pointed to the union-busting allegations.

“You do have 645 unfair labor cases brought against you. Based on the size of the crowd, there may be some smoke and fire together there,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) told Schultz.

Starbucks shareholders back independent review of company’s labor practices
Shareholders for the coffee giant Starbucks approved an independent review of the company’s labor practices as it has come under federal scrutiny of its treatment of union organizing efforts.

The results of the vote by 52 percent of shareholders to approve the review came on the same day that the company’s recently-departed CEO Howard Schultz testified in a much-awaited hearing in front of the Senate on Wednesday.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who filed the request for the independent review of the company’s labor practices, said in a statement that the results of the vote showed that investors want the company to be transparent about its treatment of union organizers.

“Investors who want to see a thriving, successful and flourishing Starbucks sent a strong message that the company must live up to its own policies and values,” Lander said in a statement after the vote. “The majority support from shareholders for our proposal reflects a growing demand for an honest accounting of the discrepancy between Starbucks’ purported values and management’s anti-union behavior.”

Starbucks said that it was “undertaking an independent, third-party human rights impact assessment, which will include a deeper-level review of the principles of freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.”

Starbucks has been under intense scrutiny for its treatment of labor organizers. Earlier this month a National Labor Relations Board judge ruled that Starbucks committed “egregious and widespread” violations of federal law in its campaign to halt unions. More than 280 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize in the U.S. since 2021, but the company has very publicly clashed with organizers in that time, firing 200 of them.

Schultz clashed with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at the hearing on Wednesday, with Sanders blasting Starbucks, under Schultz’s leadership, for waging “the most aggressive and illegal union-busting campaign in the modern history of our country.”
Schultz, who has been at the head of the company three different times, denied that Starbucks has ever broken the law.

“My involvement and engagement in union activities, despite this event today, has been de minimis. I was not involved in any issue of closing stores,” Schultz said.
